Edinburgh Airport Edinburgh Airport Airspace Change Programme (FASI)

27/09/2024: Post a CAA feedback session held on 6 September 2024, the change sponsor elected to withdraw ACP-2019-32 from the September 2024 Gateway. The change sponsor has subsequently submitted a new timeline change request and Edinburgh’s Stage 3 submission will now be assessed at an October 2024 Gateway.

28/10/2024: The CAA has completed the Stage 3 Consult Gateway Assessment and is not satisfied that the change sponsor has met the requirements of the Process up to this point. The CAA does not approve progress to the next Step. Further explanation for this decision is contained in the published document 'Stage 3 Consult Gateway Outcome – October 2024’.

In accordance with direction 5(1) of the Civil Aviation Authority (Air Navigation) Directions 2023, the CAA is not satisfied this airspace change proposal up to this stage has demonstrated that it is in accordance with the CAA’s Airspace Modernisation Strategy (CAP 1711), including the proposed Iteration 3 of the UK Masterplan (Scottish cluster). Subject to acceptance, Iteration 3 of the UK Masterplan (Scottish cluster) will be published at the same time that the constituent airspace change proposals for this cluster publish their consultations.

27/11/2024: Until the final iteration of the airspace change masterplan including the updated programme plan has been developed, the full indicative timeline for this ACP, which must be aligned with the updated programme plan, cannot be confirmed. The Gateways within the published document 'Indicative Timeline – November 2024' are subject to change.

21/01/2025: The Change Sponsor has notified the CAA of its intent to delay the proposal and further update its documentation. The Stage 3 ‘Consult’ Gateway assessment will not take place in February 2025 as previously planned. A new timeline will be agreed shortly.

22/04/2025: Until the final iteration of the airspace change masterplan including the updated programme plan has been developed, the full indicative timeline for this ACP, which must be aligned with the updated programme plan, cannot be confirmed. The Gateways within the published document 'Indicative Timeline – April 2025' are subject to change.
